Question for those of you concerned about the size of federal debts and deficits: Would you endorse a plan which would add another five or six trillion dollars to the federal debt over the next decade while increasing Uncle Sam’s annual expenditures by $1.1 trillion? If so, you’re in luck. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-WI, recently unveiled just such a plan.

Naturally, Democrats immediately denounced Ryan’s plan … Read the Rest of this Post

As the nation digests Barack Obama’s plan to ride a tax hike to re-election, one phrase from yesterday’s budget speech confirms what this author has long stated: the president is fundamentally an anti-American Messianic figure who believes he was sent to save our nation from itself and its Founders. Speaking a line that was written in advance, approved by multiple layers of handlers and advisers, and spoken with relish, the president … Read the Rest of this Post

Obama is a born again deficit cutter. He wants, according to his speech at George Washington University this week, to slim down nation’s deficit by a whopping four trillion dollars in the next 12 years. To achieve this miraculous goal he has a top secret weapon. It is called the “tax expenditure.”

Now tax expenditures are not new. They have been around for many years, only we knew them … Read the Rest of this Post

Barack Obama has unveiled his agenda for balancing the budget: Raising taxes on the living, then sending them to an early grave. In his speech this afternoon, Obama confirmed long-running suspicions that he views extravagant expenditures as “core investments,” believes all wealth belongs to the government, questions the “patriotism” of those who believe in limited government, and plans to set to establish a “commission” to deny seniors medical treatment he deems … Read the Rest of this Post

Republicans acted on the message voters sent in the 2010 congressional elections when they elected more than enough members of the House to control that body; they tackled the scandal of out-of-control spending and the voters responded.

So far they have shoved a poison pill down the throats of spending-happy House Democrats, chopping a cool $38 billion from the 2011 federal budget. They now face a new challenge in enacting a budget … Read the Rest of this Post

The budget deficits from the first two years of the Obama administration are of sufficient magnitude to spring Dr. “Billions and Billions” Carl Sagan from his grave. Sagan could sue for copyright infringement for misuse of astronomical numbers.

On second thought, the figures now being bandied about are in the trillions, which no doubt would send the venerable atheist skulking back, perhaps muttering something about the “unsustainability” of it … Read the Rest of this Post

Where’s the outrage?

Given what Barack Obama is doing to the Constitution, the economy and our future, the American people should be up in arms (metaphorically speaking, civility-hysterics take note). Citizens should be marching on Washington with pitchforks and flaming brands in hand (also a metaphor). Every city should see demonstrations to make the most raucous Tea Party rally look like Sunday night in Pierre, South Dakota.

Instead, it’s a … Read the Rest of this Post

House Speaker John Boehner is falling for a trap, hook, line, and sinker — and the Republican presidential nominee will reap the results of Boehner’s folly. The single biggest issue facing America is the inability of the federal government to pay its bills. The deficit for the month of February was $222.5 billion dollars. That is a record $7.9 billion a day. And how does John Boehner respond?

First … Read the Rest of this Post

They say you get less of what you tax and more of what you subsidize. The left feels there are still too many producers in this country. But it has a solution – tax them into extinction.

Increasingly, the Democrats and their stooges sound like villains from an Ayn Rand novel – Wesley Mooch or Lee Hunsacker.

Posturing at a Democratic rally in Sarasota, Florida, last week, horror-writer Stephen King announced, … Read the Rest of this Post
